Did you know anybody in South Australia can open a laser hair removal clinic? That’s why Laser Hair Removal at The Bay & On Unley owner and registered nurse, Veronica Denwick, says it’s important to pick a clinic led by qualified nurses rather than beauty therapists.

“We spend three months training our nursing staff at Laser Hair Removal to ensure they’re more than confident in safely addressing your unwanted hair needs,” she says. And there are a few reasons for this.

“As nurses, we undergo extensive medical training and education, equipping us with a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology and medical procedures,” she explains.

“This knowledge allows us to assess your skin type, hair growth patterns and any underlying medical conditions accurately and tailor the treatment to address specific concerns or sensitivities.”

While beauty therapists may be skilled in performing laser hair removal, there can be potential risks using such advanced technology, including burns, scarring and skin discolouration, if not performed correctly.

“Nurses are trained to assess and mitigate these risks, implementing proper safety measures and adjusting treatment parameters as needed to minimise adverse effects,” Veronica says.

In some instances, clients might have medical conditions or factors that require special attention during laser hair removal, such as hormonal imbalances, skin disorders, like psoriasis and eczema, or medication interactions.

Nurses are equipped to handle these complex cases, collaborating with other healthcare professionals if necessary to ensure safe and effective treatment outcomes.
